The design takes full advantage of the sloping site, with a sequence of fountains and channels framed by the hedges set on three terraces among trees. The contrast of architectural formality and the inherently informal- water and trees-express the spirit of Renaissance garden with the sound of the water omnipresent. Below are the twin pavilions that constitute the villa. Villa Lante is a magical place that’s difficult to tear one away

First of all, I would forget about the direct view of the villa and look for some satellite views of the property. The property is awesome. The artwork amazing. It costs 5E. If you go make sure you explore the gardens and walk up into the park and go all the way to the top of the property and check out the other "house". You cannot go inside but the scale of everything will blow you away. End by checking out the grotto at the exit. I would go all the way to the villa looking for a park. More parking exists (at the same price 1E/hour even past the entrance. The official entrance is not that obvious lets just say it is next to a small wooden "vendor" type shed that might not be open. You enter stright from the grand entrance. Amazing, not to be missed.

Our guide was Riccardo, and the tour was in Italian. We totally recommend this tour, beside the amazing experience of going underground and walking through the ancient aqueduct, it was a simple, yet professional and informed, introduction to the history of Orte and the region. Riccardo is super nice and a very skilled guide. We had a great time and strongly recommend this to anyone visiting the region.

There are so many wonderful regional towns to visit in Italy, I had never heard of Viterbo until our recent stay in this very interesting town in Lazio. The historical centre which dates back to the eighth century was wonderful to explore, the architecture is quite different mostly built out of grey stone, one and two storey buildings with outdoor staircases, a particular feature typical of this town. We found many delightful piazzas and fountains as well as great cafes, gelaterias and restaurants in Viterbo during our stay. Viterbo was a great town to discover and so close to Rome.
